First session
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored treatment plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Strengths
One of the greatest strengths I bring to therapy is the breadth of my experience working with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of settings and life circumstances. My professional journey has allowed me to support people during some of life’s most challenging and vulnerable moments. From working as an In-Home Intervention Specialist supporting families through the reunification process to serving as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker within a large county hospital, I have developed a well-rounded perspective on the many factors that can influence emotional and mental well-being. My experience working in Behavioral Health, Trauma, and the Emergency Room has strengthened my ability to remain calm, compassionate, and present during times of crisis, uncertainty, and emotional distress. These experiences have also taught me the importance of listening without judgment and understanding each person within the context of their relationships, environment, culture, experiences, and individual strengths. What makes my approach stand out is my commitment to meeting clients where they are. I understand that beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, and I strive to create an environment where clients feel comfortable being authentic and expressing themselves openly. I do not believe therapy should follow a one-size-fits-all model. Instead, I take time to understand each client’s unique story, concerns, strengths, and goals and collaboratively develop an approach that feels appropriate and meaningful. I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed, and strengths-based perspective to each session while incorporating evidence-based therapeutic strategies and practical tools. My goal is to help clients gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, strengthen relationships, and build resilience. Above all, I view therapy as a collaborative process. I am not there to tell you how to live your life; I am there to listen, support, and help you discover the tools and strengths you already possess. It is a privilege to walk alongside clients as they work toward healing, growth, and greater well-being.

Treatment methods
Trauma-Informed Care
Understands and considers the pervasive nature of trauma and promotes environments of healing and recovery rather than practices and services that may inadvertently re-traumatize.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Is a form of psychological treatment that has been demonstrated to be effective for a range of problems including depression, anxiety disorders, alcohol and drug use problems, marital problems, eating disorders, and severe mental illness.
Psychodynamic
Focuses on unconscious processes as they are manifested in the client's present behavior. The goals of psychodynamic therapy are client self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on present behavior. In its brief form, a psychodynamic approach enables the client to examine unresolved conflicts and symptoms that arise from past dysfunctional relationships and manifest themselves in the need and desire to abuse substances.
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused practice concentrates on helping people move towards the future that they want and to learn what can be done differently by using their existing skills, strategies and ideas – rather than focusing on the problem.
Motivational Interviewing
A collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion
